When I turned it over and read the name on the bottom–CHROMCRAFT–I searched it up on my phone (here are some other vintage Chromcraft chairs on Etsy) only to discover a few chairs. But from the comments on this Pin, it looks like people had the same concerns as me:

How in the world do you remove the back cushion of this Chromcraft chair in order to reupholster it??

In trying to remove the back, I was afraid I’d ruin the chair by trying to rip the back off (with a crowbar, at that!). But we all have to overcome our DIY fears and I knew I would never discover new reupholstery techniques until I tried, right?

The vanity next to it, I don’t know if it was part of the set or not. But it was equally stunning!

This is another piece I would be hesitant to paint, but if I did paint it, I would leave the tops natural so you can see that amazing pattern, and I’d paint the black drawers and leave most of the wood!

Is it just me, or do you see a face in this wood grain?!?!? Why am I just now noticing this! LOL

Do you see what I see?? LOL

How would you like this face peering out at you in your bedroom? LOL

Eww! Those eyes in that cabinet door! Nope, couldn’t stand to see that staring out at me!
That being said, I have a closet door in my house that looks like a giant…. well, male part.
I cant stand looking at it! lol!

Both of those pieces are gorgeous and I wouldn’t paint at all! I can honestly say that I agree with you. It would be very hard to walk away from those. I hope whoever pick some up totally appreciates them.

Well I am not an “artisan cabinetmaker” but I am acquainted with someone who is a really humble and fine cabinetmaker and he says your picture captures it quite nicely and as for me, I think it is so cool you saw, what other’s might not. What a wonderful piece of furniture and looks to be in good condition.
